Chapter 132: It's Done!
Chapter 132: Finished!
Li Ao has already figured out what Manchester City's tactics are in this game.
For the victory of this game, Manchester City really did not hesitate to use any means at all costs...
Manchester City's foul tactics did make him a little uncomfortable because he couldn't play well.
But that doesn't mean he's out of luck.
Now the first question to be solved is how to get closer to some of Manchester City's goals?
Manchester City players are very smart. They all commit fouls away from the goal. This kind of place has the least chance of getting a card and the least threat to the goal.
Since Manchester City's foul tactics cannot be stopped or changed, then I must first force Manchester City to foul closer to their goal.
In this way, at least you can threaten Manchester City's goal with a free kick...
Thinking of this, he found his teammate Carrick who was in charge of serving free kicks in the midfield: "Don't kick the ball directly into the penalty area later."
Carrick really planned to send the football directly to the opponent's goal, because he found that only in this way can he successfully send the football to the place closest to the Manchester United goal.
"Why, Lee?"
he asks.
"Pass it and it's hard for us to get the ball, it doesn't make sense. You pass the football to me."
Li Ao said.
"But... the opponent's foul..."
Carrick didn't finish, but he knew Li Ao had understood.
Li Ao shook his head: "Don't worry, it's okay, Dietmar."
Carrick didn't know exactly what Li Ao was going to do, but since Li Ao said so...
Then trust him, he has proven countless times this season that he deserves the trust of his teammates.
Since he said no problem, then no problem.
So he nodded: "Okay. You go to the front, I promise to pass the football to you..."
But Li Ao shook his head again: "No, I'm right next to you, when the time comes, just pass the football to me like this..."
He gestured.
Carrick glanced at Li Ao and finally nodded.
He believes in Li Ao, so give him the football and see what he does.
So when the Manchester City players shrank back and prepared to deploy heavy troops near the penalty area to fight for the header, everyone was surprised to see Li Ao standing not far from Carrick, forming a perfect formation with Carrick and football a triangle.
Although he is not a striker, Li Ao has a strong ability to grab points. If he has a chance, he will be a strong point for Manchester United's free kick attack.
But this time Li Ao didn't come near the penalty area. With his ability to grab points and head the ball, he should come here to compete for the top...
What is he doing next to Carrick?
Does he still want to shoot straight here?
Don't be ridiculous, that's the middle circle!
How could he expect to score with a direct shot from the center circle?
But looking at his position, it really looks like he is about to kick a free kick...
Then should we go up and erect a personal wall or something?
Because the distance is too far, Manchester City players never considered lining up in the midfield at all.
At this moment, the referee's whistle sounded.
Carrick started running towards the football.
At the same time, Li Ao also suddenly started, but instead of running towards the football, he ran diagonally towards another direction!
Carrick ran to the football in two steps, but instead of kicking the football towards the penalty area, he kicked it directly to Li Ao who was pulling sideways.
When Li Ao received the ball, Manchester City's players woke up like a dream. This is to let Li Ao take the ball and launch an attack!
So they stopped guarding the restricted area and rushed out in a swarm, some of them rushed directly to Li Ao.
They are not worried that Li Ao will pass the football directly into the penalty area behind them. Even if a Manchester United player receives the ball, it must be offside......
This is why when the corner kick is cleared, the defenders will rush out with the football, just to cause offside.
Dzeko was the first to rush in front of Li Ao, because he was originally an offensive player, and he hadn't been able to defend into the penalty area just now.
He didn't think about defending Li Ao here, but directly ran into Li Ao --- it was a foul!
He wants to knock Li Ao away when Li Ao has just received the ball and is still not on his feet.
But when Li Ao was about to receive the football, he stopped abruptly and let the football pass in front of him. Immediately afterwards, Dzeko bumped into him, but Li Ao dodged it!
Next, Li Ao restarted the acceleration and chased the football again!
The second Manchester City player, Keylor Navas, caught up, and he directly kicked a flying shovel!
He almost tackled the ball, if Li Ao hadn't kicked the ball out first...
But although he didn't kick the ball, he kicked Li Ao.
He made Li Ao stagger!
The referee's whistle was in his mouth, and it was about to blow.
But when Li Ao was about to fall to the ground, he supported his body with both hands and continued to run forward!
Although he stumbled, he didn't fall down, he was still chasing the ball!
After the referee saw this scene, the whistle in his mouth was not blown.
So Li Ao ran forward with hands and feet (Wang Nuohao), and finally regained his balance...
Fernandinho came up and bumped him from the side again!
Because he was tripped by Navas before, Li Ao had no energy to dodge, he was hit hard......
He fell directly to the ground and lost the football he had just caught up to...
Just as he fell to the ground, he heard the referee's whistle sound.
He rolled around on the ground, lying on the turf, the first thing he did was to look up to see where he was.
At a glance, he saw a white line about two or three meters in front of him...
That is the white line of the restricted area.
This is a place a little over twenty meters away from Manchester City's goal, and it has already entered the range of his free kick!
So lying on the ground, he touched it with both hands: It's done!
